XIV. The Deadly Swordsman

During the halftime break, Lin Yue presented the new orange jersey of the Dutch team to 20 lucky spectators. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This shirt has a sleeveless design and pure cotton fabric, which is more sweat-absorbent, different from the traditional solid color, and adds a gradient effect, like a pair of flying wings, which is more dynamic and dynamic.

Orange, youthful and dynamic, bright and unrestrained, perfectly fits with the all-attacking, full-defending, and strong Dutch team.

In contrast, the dark red series of the Russian team is much colder, as if there is a faint floating killing atmosphere.

Russia is a warlike people, their land is won by fighting with axes and artillery, and every inch of land is infiltrated with their blood and will.

It can even be said that their bodies are infused with the gene of conquest, even if they are not capable, they will go all out and fight for half the opponent's life.

What's more, it's still this kind of game at home, with all eyes on it. They must prove the dignity of the Russian nation.

Who said that we must not be able to do it, we also have a glorious history, Levyashin, Dasayev, Blokhin, Tsar Arshavin, who retired two years ago, have made Russian football a decisive force in European football.

Like Hungary back then, it had the strength to resist the authority of any hegemon, but it had a bad fate and could only fall helplessly.

Today's team, although there are superstar combinations such as Akinfeev and Zagoev, but the staffing in other positions is poor, and there will be various loopholes.

Especially for the Netherlands, who are good at attacking tough battles, every tiny detail can become a fatal blow.

In the first half of the first half, they did their defensive duties well, and at one point, Ren's attack was ineffective.

But the Dutch team, after all, is a world powerhouse, although it has experienced a short period of sluggishness and dullness, but their destructive power after the outbreak instantly broke through their defense.

And a succession of breakthrough points, twice penetrated the door guarded by Akinfeev, which also made the excellent Russian international embarrassed.

The young talent, who has been hailed as the successor to Levyashin, is even more powerful in the club than Zagoev. But helplessly, his teammates did not give it a lot, so that a strong combination like him and Zagoev was broken up many times.

They were like two fighters carrying AK47s to strafe the enemy, only to sadly shoot the last bullet and die a glorious death.

Ten minutes is an ordeal for Russians, but at the same time a kind of exercise, they have to learn to taste failure, awaken strength, in order to achieve success.

They drenched their hair with ice water again and again to calm themselves down and make them feel the cold mood.

In these ten minutes, Lin Yue also made a prediction for the second half of the game through the soul, but the soul gave a hint that only Russia will score, but how many will be scored, and whoever scores will be able to turn defeat into victory in the end (this possibility is very small), there is no obvious explanation.

This is actually what Lin Yue expected, after all, Russia is not a fish belly team, they have a tenacious will, even have high-quality players, and occupy the home advantage.

The shouts of these tens of thousands of fans alone are enough for some young players to tremble in their hearts.

As soon as the whistle blew, the second half of the game officially began, and it was still the Dutch team that took the lead in attacking with the ball, and Russia spread out the formation to defend, but it was different from the joint defense in the first half, and the second half was zoned and trapped.

"It's a defensive strategy that Germany is good at, and it's being used by a lot of European teams. On the one hand, Germany's defensive prowess is indeed a wall that is difficult for any team to overcome. On the other hand, the European powers are accustomed to using physical confrontation to block the opponent's attack, although Germany is recognized as physically strong, they definitely do not rely on their bodies alone to eat their opponents, and their battles have a lot of skill and wisdom in them. ”

"This is also the envy of many European teams, they want to add more tactical cooperation to their defensive system, so that players can cooperate with each other to complete the block, which not only conserves physical strength, but also achieves the goal, which is the essence of real defense."

"Don't think of Russia as a soft persimmon, you can knead it at will, they have an unyielding arrogance, they are never afraid to fight. They are naturally vicious wolves. ”

"Their ferocious eyes convey anger and unwillingness, and the flames of revenge, like the scorching sun in the sky, almost burn the grass everywhere to the yellow."

"The Dutch team's attack, in such a trap, has been repeatedly frustrated, often facing a situation where many people cut off the passing route, even if Sneijder and De Jong quickly retreated to receive the ball, they did not see much improvement."

"Russia's divided defense had an unexpected effect, they immediately bared their fangs and began to fight back wildly."

"De Jong's breakthrough was recognized, he kicked early, tackled the ball, and quickly transitioned to the front."

"The Russian players, they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, they have been dancing the trajectory of that football in their minds several times, the ball is moving, and in an instant it rushes to the Dutch penalty area."

Ivanov advanced in the middle, instantly fell to his feet, and passed to Dzyuba who followed up on the left. Dzyuba continued diagonally into the six-yard box, and in the face of Van der Wiel's save, he unleashed a long diagonal pass with the outside of his right foot, which went over the heads of the middle two and flew towards Zagoev, who was following up in the middle. ”

"Zagoev came out of the hole like a snake, unloaded his head in the air, controlled the ball well at his feet, and dribbled forward without hurrying."

"Although he seems indifferent, he has actually used the corner of his eye to see the situation of the whole audience, and everything is in his planning."

"It's all been defended close by the opponent, there is almost no room for flashing and moving, and Zagoev is still not flustered."

"A player with a thin stature like him is usually very dangerous with his dexterous footwork, shaking off opponents, passing or shooting."

But Zagoev didn't do that, he turned sideways to meet the opponent when he was close to him, and pulled the ball back with his right foot to block the defender's route.

He took advantage of the situation with his back heel, slammed the ball back, and took the ball in an eerie arc, bypassing two defenders and coming straight to the feet of Cocorin.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Cocolin won't let it go, as he gently lifts the ball 20 centimeters high and swings his left leg to make a standard blast."

Van der Vaart yelled and fell to the ground to make a sliding tackle to stop Kocorlin's fierce shot.

"But he came a step too late, and the ball burst into the upper right corner of the goal like a cannon in advance, and the goalkeeper chased hard, but he was still half a foot behind."

"In the whole game, in the 62nd minute, Russia relied on Zagoev's strong containment and unbelievable heel pass, which instantly tore through the seemingly tight defense of the Dutch, and the ghostly presence of Kokorin completed the fatal sword."

"This goal belongs to Zagoev. At this moment, it is as if we are seeing Arshavin dance steps reappear. ”

"Tens of thousands of Russian fans stood up and cheered for their home team, and the red eagle flag flew and obscured the day."

"This is the madness and wildness of Russia, they have a flamboyant personality, they do not hide their emotions in the slightest, they love and hate. There are many Russian characteristics in the people of the Northeast, probably because the two places are very close to each other. ”

"Watching the Russians celebrate their goal, the Dutchman's face turned blue, especially the new three musketeers, even more annoyed."

The three of them gathered together, their faces turned inward, looking at the grass and dirt-covered sneakers at their feet.

"The road under your feet must be forcibly crossed, so that all the weeds surrender under your feet."

"It's the default ritual in football, designed to motivate those who are down to go with all their strength and pursue their dreams."

"Each of them stretched out his right hand, stacked it on top of each other, counted one, two, and three, raised his hand into the air, and then parted and threw himself into battle."

"This short ceremony conveyed to all the Dutch players and fans their determination and confidence to win."

"Let's do it together, use your strength, and let those old hairy men go to hell!"

The Dutch team immediately formed a formation and moved forward in a half-moon arc. Like a fallen leaf swaying in the wind. ”

"They finally came out of the state they should have, their movements were sharp and light, their breakthroughs were ruthless, and their cooperation was full of tacit understanding."

"Especially the right side controlled by Robben, under his assault, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong back then, he rushed to kill Cao Ying on Changban Slope, killing seven in and seven out, and people turned on their backs."

"Under this strong impact, the Russians finally saw the majesty of the strong team, and their triple resistance was broken up in less than 5 minutes."

'Sneijder split the ball in the middle, De Jong met on the left, crossed the middle again, and Van Persie shot from a tight angle.

"Akinfeev flew into the punch, swept across, and hit the ball right in time, but alas!"

The ball bounced five metres away and landed at the feet of Van der Vaart, who accelerated and handed it to Robben on the right flank.

Robben made a light diagonal pick, shook off the defender, followed up with a sideways right leg sweep and kicked the ball into the far left corner.

Akinfeev swooped sideways, but the whip was out of reach, and the ball quickly swept past his giant palm and flew into the corner of the goal.

"The Netherlands have scored again! Robben, the omnipresent fast horse. He scored two goals in his first game back from injury and contributed to the Dutch victory. ”

"The fans, no matter which country or which team they support, gave a warm round of applause to this persistent player."

"Football at the moment, there are no boundaries of nationality, just an artistic enjoyment."

"Robben's long sword pierced through the air, and with a domineering and sharp attack, he opened the door to victory, and he deserved to be a swordsman who took his life."

"In the end, the Netherlands won 3-1 against hosts Russia thanks to Robben's excellent performance, and they will face Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the quarter-finals."

"A dragon and tiger meeting is inevitable, let's wait and see."

"At the end of the competition, I will give away a super gift, I will draw 10 lucky spectators, and on this Sunday, five days later, I will carry out a rural charity activity." (To be continued.) )
